This movie harkens back to the original Ian Fleming novels: a gritty, wounded Bond battling one-on-one in a show-down with an evil adversary. Daniel Craig turns in another strong performance with an all-star cast. An interesting undercurrent is the interplay of youth versus middle-age; instead of pitting one against the other, it turns out they compliment one another. This is a nice angle to a series that just turned 50.
